Marillion "Script for a jester's tear" lyrics

Script for a jester's tear

So here I am once more in the playground of the broken heartsOne more experience, one more entry in a diary, self-pennedYet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and prideToo late to say I love you, too late to re-stage the playAbandoning the relics in my playground of yesterdayI'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundaboutsI'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundaboutsToo much, too soon, too far to go, too late to play, the game is overThe game is over

So here I am once more in the playground of the broken heartI'm losing on the swings, losing on the roundabouts, the game is over, overYet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and prideI'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts, the game is overToo late to say I love you, too late to re-stage the playThe game is over

I act the role in classic style of a martyr carved with twisted smileTo bleed the lyric for this song to write the rites to right my wrongsAn epitaph to a broken dream to exorcise this silent screamA scream that's born from sorrow

I never did write that love song, the words just never seemed to flowNow sad in reflection did I gaze through perfectionAnd examine the shadows on the other side of morningAnd examine the shadows on the other side of mourningPromised wedding now a wakePromised wedding now a wake, a wake, a wake, a wake

The fool escaped from paradise will look over his shoulder and crySit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer "Why?"As you grow up and leave the playgroundWhere you kissed your prince and found your frogRemember the jester that showed you tears, the script for tears, for tears

So I'll hold my peace forever when you wear your bridal gownIn the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' songHas gone solo in the game, I've gone solo in the gameBut the game is over, overCan you still say you love me?Can you still say you love me?Can you still say that you love me?The jester's tears, tearsDo you love me?Do you love me?Do you love me?Do you love me?Do you love me?The jester's tearsThe jester's tearsTears, tears, tears
